Me

My name is Ben Bildstein, I live in the city of Hobart, in the state of Tasmania, Australia. If you're ever down here, catch up with me for a game of Go.

If you've just done a [ext] Google search on something like "igo hobart tasmania", you'll understand what this sentence is all about (on that note, have you ever read [ext] Godel Escher Bach?). Please see my contribution to Why Did You Start Go for more info on me.

E-mail address

I can't say exactly, for spam reasons, but my e-mail address is of the form [email] firstname.lastname@gmail.com. That's slightly cryptic, but I'm sure you understand. For more info, see the section above.

IGS account

Was Bildstein, with which I went from 25k* in about 2001 (I'll confirm this soon) to 4k* in October 2004. Then, on a hunch that the rating system wasn't keeping up with me, I created a new account as a 2k called BenB, which was 1k* by the time I earned my '*'. When the Bildstein account is removed for lack of activity, I will create it again with a more correct rank.

Currently playing as BenB 1k*.

Questions and Answers

Here are questions that I've asked on this site, and had answered by people more knowledgable than myself.

I've started a page on, and am now actively discussing, how Go could be played on a board with no lines, where stones can be placed freely.
